Basic Rights Queensland (BRQ) is a state-wide specialist community legal centre, providing free advice, advocacy, and legal services to people most in need in Queensland. We uphold and advance rights to social security, free from discrimination and justice in the workplace.

Social security, discrimination, and employment laws are vast and complex, which can create confusion and uncertainty. BRQ endeavours to cut through that complexity, helping people know where they stand and understand how to protect their rights.

Our lawyers, industrial officers, social workers, and professional staff work together to advocate for fair and just outcomes for Queenslanders.

BRQ is state-wide, telephone-based service, offering the same specialist services to all clients, whether they live in Brisbane or Boulia. 

Funded by Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General and Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, BRQ has been operating for over forty years with the support of volunteers, sponsors, and pro-bono assistance. 

Telephone Advice Line - operational between 9.30am and 4.00pm weekdays 1800 358 511 (freecall).

 

We welcome respectful conversation on our social media platforms. Our team monitors comments to ensure a safe and inclusive space for our community. 

We will remove hate-filled, discriminatory, or abusive comments that go against our values or may cause harm. 
We will remove comments that could discourage other clients, partners or community members from engaging with us. 
We do not engage with negative or inflammatory comments, especially where a response is unlikely to lead to unproductive dialogue. 
Our priority is maintaining a supportive and respectful environment for all.
